About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and life changes.

She approaches therapy as a team effort. Kristen uses conversation to understand what gets in the way of daily well-being, then pairs that with practical steps toward goals. Her style is direct and approachable, so sessions tend to focus on clear next steps as well as exploring feelings.
Over nine years of work, Kristen has worked with adults from varied backgrounds, including people connected to the military community. She emphasizes building a trusting relationship as the foundation for change. That trust shapes how she helps people try new ways of coping and relating.
Kristen draws on several methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches guide how she frames problems and plans work between sessions. She tailors methods to fit each person's goals and pace.
She holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, written out as LCSW, and also lists CSW. Kristen practices in Colorado and offers services in English. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how they shape trust, intimacy, and communication. It can help with codependency, commitment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns through skills and experiments between sessions, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen partners with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying a direction for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
